Tenured coach earns associate coaching rank

By Jeff Fuldauer · Thursday, March 4,2004 12:10 a.m.

Winning four Big Ten titles in 12 years as an IU tennis coach would be a highlight to any head coach's resume. Add to it, a two-time conference coach of the year honos for both men and women's programs, in addition to decades of collegiate tennis experience, and you've got a resume fit to send off for any head tennis coaching position in the country. But IU's newly named associate head coach, Ramiro Azcui, is proud to be just that -- and in doing so has been an integral part of continuing IU's lineage of successful squads.

Strickland, Moye, Leach lead team with career-high nights

By Tyler Hoeppner and Tyler V. Hoeppner · Thursday, March 4,2004 12:08 a.m.

Three IU players had career nights in three different categories as the Hoosiers pulled out their first home win in over a month Wednesday as they defeated Michigan, 61-56. Sophomore guard Marshall Strickland scored a career-high 21 points on 7-17 shooting, 5-10 behind the arc, to lead the Hoosiers (13-13, 7-8 Big Ten). Senior forward A.J. Moye had 15 rebounds, and senior center George Leach was a presence on the defensive end with seven blocks. "I thought Marshall Strickland was tremendous for their team," Michigan coach Tommy Amaker said. "They made eight threes, and one of our points of emphasis was trying to defend the three-point line, and it doesn't look like we did a good job looking at the percentage they shot."

Hoosier hiatus ends with 61-56 victory

By Natalie A. Trout · Thursday, March 4,2004 12:04 a.m.

It has been since the Purdue game Jan. 27. One month and five days is how long Hoosier fans had to wait for a win in Assembly Hall. Wednesday night they got it when IU (13-13, 7-8 Big Ten) beat Michigan (16-10, 7-8) 61-56. "We just wanted to get that winning feeling back," sophomore guard Marshall Strickland said. "After you lose a couple of games, everybody gets down. The mood kind of gets down. We just want to get the fans excited again, and get everybody excited about basketball, and we're not done yet."

'Dread' attainable as a liter-a-cola

By Jack M. Silverstein and Jack Silverstein · Thursday, March 4,2004 12 a.m.

A year or so ago, my friends and I were in the video store trying to decide what to rent. Somebody suggested "Super Troopers," and since I wasn't paying, I agreed. The previews looked more dumb than funny, so I wasn't expecting much when we turned it on. Needless to say, it quickly became one of my favorite comedies, both to watch and quote.

Far from the 'Time of Your Life'

By Amanda Trost · Thursday, March 4,2004 12 a.m.

Tropical nights, latin rythms, sweaty bodies -- sounds like the setup for one hot and spicy flick, right? Well, unfortunately, the makers of "Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights" managed to take this equation and turn it into a 90 minute snoozer. With its predecessor fresh in the minds of millions of '80s fanatics everywhere, this movie had a lot to live up to and fell violently short.

FEELIN' THE GROOVE

By Erin Revtyak · Thursday, March 4,2004 12 a.m.

It would be difficult to be on the road almost non-stop, moving around from city to city playing in different clubs and venues every night in an attempt to make a name for yourself. The members of Addison Groove Project have come to a point where they can barely remember what city they're in or if they've ever been there before, but it's just what has to be done, says vocalist/guitarist/trumpeter Brendan McGinn.

'Schizophrenic' more like 'Nymphomaniac'

By Diana Tychsen · Thursday, March 4,2004 12 a.m.

JC Chasez was diagnosed with the wrong disease. The former *NSYNC-er's recently-released solo debut, entitled Schizophrenic, should have hit stores with the more appropriate title of Nymphomaniac. There is an absurd amount of sexual innuendoes, most of which are downright funny considering JC used to run around wearing mouse-ears on "The Mickey Mouse Club" a decade ago.

'Fog' very clear and educational

By Tony Sams · Thursday, March 4,2004 12 a.m.

The old story goes that when Robert S. McNamara, then the president of Ford Motor Company, was asked by newly elected President John F. Kennedy to join the Cabinet, McNamara was hesitant because he was unsure he had the credentials.

A PASSIONATE DEBATE

By By Ryan Heath and Ryan Heath · Thursday, March 4,2004 12 a.m.

On Ash Wednesday, Mel Gibson released what may be the most controversial film in decades, "The Passion of the Christ," a blockbuster recounting the final 12 hours of Jesus' life and his ultimate death on the cross. Gibson, who directed and co-wrote the film, based the script largely on the Gospels of the New Testament.

Metal impresarios use 'Music as a Weapon'

By C. Warner Sills and Benjames Derrick · Thursday, March 4,2004 12 a.m.

Disturbed, Chevelle, Taproot and Unloco had so much fun on the Music as a Weapon II Tour they decided to put together a CD/DVD chronicling it. Both the tour and CD have the exact same music -- excepting a bonus video for Disturbed's "Liberate."

Another whodunnit, who cares

By Doug Evans · Thursday, March 4,2004 12 a.m.

You are probably already familiar with the plotline of this film: cop gets promoted to Homicide division, bodies instantly start turning up, cop gets put on the case only to realize she knows all the victims, cop must fight her own demons and beat the odds to solve the case. That sums up the movie in a nice little package, only I may have made it sound better than it really was.

Gibson's 'Passion' a brutal gift of love

By by Isaac Edwards and Isaac Edwards · Thursday, March 4,2004 12 a.m.

It's practically impossible for me to compress my range of reactions to Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" into a 400 word review. Garnering a massive amount of media coverage, Gibson's controversial film has become the archetype of the cliché: "There's no such thing as bad publicity."

TAG, YOU'RE IT

By Chris Freiberg · Thursday, March 4,2004 12 a.m.

Never underestimate children in a battlefield. That's the conclusion I've come to after playing 11-year-olds in laser tag and losing. No, not just losing -- being completely annihilated.

Western 'Missing' quite a lot

By -Jenny Kobiela · Thursday, March 4,2004 12 a.m.

Old style Westerns are hard to come by, and Ron Howard tries desperately to deliver one which is politically correct enough for today's audiences.

'Matchstick' a steal on DVD

By Tony Sams · Thursday, March 4,2004 12 a.m.

Roy Waller (Nicolas Cage) continually reminds people during "Matchstick Men" that he is not a con man, but rather a con artist. "I don't take people's money," he says explaining the difference. "They give it to me." The sentiment works well. This isn't just a regular con movie; it's a clever and classy rendition of what could have been the same old song-and-dance.

'Fire' a Clause worth fighting for

By -Alec Toombs · Thursday, March 4,2004 12 a.m.

English art rockers the Cooper Temple Clause will likely overwhelm listeners with its eclectic and all together heady mix of pop, jazz, metal and electronica, and that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Get Enthused! 'Curb' is changing the sitcom

By -Brandon Tucker · Thursday, March 4,2004 12 a.m.

The big TV networks have a big problem: the kiddies aren't gobbling up their sitcoms like the old days. Of the top ten shows (according to Nielsen Media during the week of Feb. 16-22), only two, "Friends" and "Everybody Loves Raymond" (both well past their prime) are situation comedies. The rest of the top ten is rounded out with both nights of "American Idol," drama series and reality shows.

He's Dave Chappelle, bitch!

By Doug Evans · Thursday, March 4,2004 12 a.m.

If you have not yet had the chance to check out "Chappelle's Show" on Comedy Central, hop to it, bitches. Dave Chappelle's brilliantly offensive style of comedy reaches heights which few comedians dare to climb, touching on issues of race and poking fun at every ethnic group … even Rick James. The show is worth watching if only to see how far Comedy Central pushes the limits of what's acceptable for cable television, and no one does this better than Chappelle.

EXPERIMENT: UNDERGROUND

By Joanna Borns · Thursday, March 4,2004 12 a.m.

It's Friday night, yet the "new release" walls at Blockbuster are bare, and the latest theatrical releases are too average: teen drama, gory horror and a typical tearjerker are all that's currently available. Another option: alternative, or underground films. Finding them just requires a little bit of digging.
